Podvia Reprinted with permission from LH&RB Newsletter, Summer 2015, at 1, reprinted in 8 Unbound 5 (2015) Question: What type of whiskey has been defined by the United States government as "a distinctive product of the United States?" Answer: Bourbon!1 Question: What is the name of one of Kentucky's most celebrated counties? Answer: Bourbon!2 Question: What is the official beverage of the Commonwealth of Kentucky? Answer: Milk.3 Bourbon is a type of American whiskey4 made primarily from corn. All Bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is Bourbon. Pursuant to 27 CFR §5.22(b)(1)(i), Bourbon "is whisky produced at not exceeding 160° proof from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent corn, rye, wheat, malted barley, or malted rye grain, respectively, and stored at not more than 125° proof in charred new oak containers; and also includes mixtures of such whiskies of the same type." There is no minimum aging requirement for Bourbon, however Bourbon aged less than four years must state the age on the bottle. In addition, 27 CFR §5.22(b)(1)(i) provides that "[w]hiskies…which have been stored in the type of oak containers prescribed, for a period of 2 years or more shall be further designated as "straight"; for example, "straight ∗ Mark Podvia is Head of Public Services and Instruction and Special Collections Librarian at the West Virginia University College of Law Library. This article had its origins in a program that the author presented at the 2015 SEAALL Annual Meeting. He would like to thank Kurt X. Metzmeier, Associate Director and Professor of Legal Bibliography at the University of Louisville Law Library, for his suggestions that added to the quality of this article. 1 S. Con. Res. 19, 88th Cong., 78 Stat. 1208 (1964). 2 Thirty-four present-day Kentucky counties were formed out of the original Bourbon County, usually referred to as "Old Bourbon County." Ironically no Bourbon is distilled in modern Bourbon County. 3 What was the Kentucky Legislature thinking? You folks in Kentucky need to work on this one! 4 Also spelled Whisky. 3 bourbon whisky." Federal regulations further provide that there can be no artificial coloring or flavoring in Bourbon whiskey. There is no legal requirement that Bourbon be produced in Kentucky. However, roughly 95 percent of all Bourbon is produced there. Really – who would want to drink Hawaiian Bourbon?5 The production of whiskey was among the first industries of the American colonies. Isolated farmers, particularly those on the frontier, found it far easier to convert their excess grain to whiskey for shipment to market by wagon or raft. Whiskey produced in western Pennsylvania was usually made from rye;6 that made in Commonwealth of Kentucky was more often made from corn.7 Thus it should come as no surprise that, following the American Revolution, whiskey was among the first domestic products to be taxed by the Federal government. The Excise Whiskey Tax Act – officially "An Act repealing, after the last day of June next, the duties heretofore laid upon Distilled Spirits imported from abroad, and laying others in their stead; and also upon Spirits distilled within the United States, and for appropriating the same" – was adopted by Congress on March 3, 17918 with the strong support of Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. Designed to pay the Revolutionary war debts that the new Federal government had inherited from the states, the Act provided for the taxation of distilled spirits at a six- to 18- cent per gallon rate; smaller distillers often paid double what larger distillers paid, with payment being made in cash to a Federal revenue officer appointed for the distiller's county. Needless to say, the new tax was opposed by the farmers/distillers in western Pennsylvania, western Maryland and Kentucky. Resistance gradually turned from disobedience to violence; in July, 1794, shots were fired at a Federal tax collector.9 Faced with armed rebellion – the first test of the new Constitution – President Washington lead an army from Carlisle, Pennsylvania to Bedford, Pennsylvania and the insurrection was quelled.10 Although Washington's army never reached Kentucky, distillers there generally complied with the law following the collapse of resistance in 5 "Tennessee Whiskey" generally meets the requirements of Bourbon but – with the exception of Benjamin Prichard's Tennessee Whiskey – it is required under Tennessee law to be filtered through sugar-maple charcoal, a procedure known as the Lincoln County Process. 6 The author recently had his first experience with Rye whiskey – wow! A bottle of Town Branch Rye now resides in his liquor cabinet. 7 According to legend, it was the Rev. Elijah Craig who first made Kentucky whiskey

  • The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages
    The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages © 2016 Robert A. Freitas Jr. All Rights Reserved. Abstract. Specialized nanofactories will be able to manufacture specific products or classes of products very efficiently and inexpensively. This paper is the first serious scaling study of a nanofactory designed for the manufacture of a specific food product, in this case high-value-per- liter alcoholic beverages. The analysis indicates that a 6-kg desktop appliance called the Fine Spirits Synthesizer, aka. the “Whiskey Machine,” consuming 300 W of power for all atomically precise mechanosynthesis operations, along with a commercially available 59-kg 900 W cryogenic refrigerator, could produce one 750 ml bottle per hour of any fine spirit beverage for which the molecular recipe is precisely known at a manufacturing cost of about $0.36 per bottle, assuming no reduction in the current $0.07/kWh cost for industrial electricity. The appliance’s carbon footprint is a minuscule 0.3 gm CO2 emitted per bottle, more than 1000 times smaller than the 460 gm CO2 per bottle carbon footprint of conventional distillery operations today. The same desktop appliance can intake a tiny physical sample of any fine spirit beverage and produce a complete molecular recipe for that product in ~17 minutes of run time, consuming <25 W of power, at negligible additional cost.

    ISSUE CONTENTS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER UP-TO -DATE THROUGH VOL 20 NO 5 – SEPTEMBER , 2021 Copyright © 1993-2021, Charles Kendrick Cowdery, All Rights Reserved WHAT THIS IS The name pretty much explains it. The Bourbon Country Reader Issue Contents in Chronological Order is a list of all the contents of every issue, in chronological order, from the beginning to the most recent issue. It lists the volume and issue number of each issue, the publication date, the headlines of all the stories in that issue, and where necessary there is a short description of what the story is about (when it isn't obvious from the headline). All product reviews are included too. All back issues of The Bourbon Country Reader are available as bound volumes except Volume One (see explanation, below). Each bound volume contains six issues. Volumes become available in bound form as soon as that volume is completed, i.e., after issue number six of that volume has been published. You may order bound volumes of back issues at bourbonstraight.com. WHY VOLUME ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE When we started The Reader in 1993, it was an experiment. We had no idea if anyone would be interested. The design was very crude. (Considering how simple it still is, that's saying something.) After the first six issues, we had worked out the kinks and decided to keep going. We decided to bury the experimental first volume, for reasons both aesthetic and technical. In light of that decision, we resolved to republish in future issues all significant stories from those first six issues, which we did, so you're really not missing anything by not having Volume One.

THE 1800‘S Throughout the 1800s, whiskey dominated the news and medicine. You’d find whiskey invading the White House and causing scandals. President Grant’s reelection campaign was, in part, paid for by whiskey distillers defrauding the government and bribing politicians so they wouldn’t have to pay as much in taxes. It also was the subject of great political debate, from temperance women trying to ban it, to whiskey distillers trying to protect it, while doctors prescribed bourbon for everything from gout to cancer. The whiskeys from this era did not have the same consumer protection as they do today. In some cases, the whiskey rectifiers added acids and unpalatable materials VINTAGE WHISKEY VINTAGE that would be banned by today’s regulations. These whiskeys were tested, but taste at your own risk. IMPORTANT LEGISLATION Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. This was the first consumer protection legislation for whiskey and is still seen on bottles today. E1.

    AMERICAN BOURBON Bourbon is an American whiskey which contains a minimum of 51 percent corn, and is aged in charred, new oak barrels. The mandate that bourbon rest in only new oak barrels is a key reason why used bourbon barrels end up aging Scotch, amongst other products.
